I received an ARC of this book by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What if you almost missed the love of your life?

Nadia gets the 7.30 train every morning without fail. Well, except if she oversleeps or wakes up at her friend Emma’s after too much wine.

Daniel really does get the 7.30 train every morning, which is easy because he hasn’t been able to sleep properly since his dad died.

One morning, Nadia’s eye catches sight of a post in the daily paper:

To the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress. I’m the guy who’s always standing near the doors… Drink sometime?

So begins a not-quite-romance of near-misses, true love, and the power of the written word.


Okay, so - I've been on a fantasy binge for so long I'd forgotten how good reading a contemporary can make me feel. This is the third in as many weeks that I've devoured, hardly able to put them down, thinking about them after I'm done type reads. Our Stop is absolutely fantastic. It's cute. It's sweet. It's funny. It's real. And I loved it. It's well written, the story flows consistently and I loved reading both Nadia and Daniel's point of views.

Nadia is flawed, she's a real woman navigating London, working full time and trying to find that connection. Daniel is lovely, like if I wasn't married and he weren't fictional, I'd have hoped to be the cute girl with the coffee stains that he was reaching out to. All of the near misses really built up the tension and I felt that the book had a very satisfying conclusion.

The addition of several side characters worked well, really bringing the story alive for me. I read it in two sittings, as I could hardly put it down. It's the perfect summer rom-com that will have you grinning from ear to ear if you're anything like me; and I'd definitely recommend it if you enjoyed The Flat Share.
